Requirements to become a foster parent
You'll still have support and guidance when you receive a foster placement. Kentucky has continued training and can connect new foster parents with experienced families through the Foster Parent Mentor Program.
Having access to an experienced foster family is invaluable. You'll be able to connect with other adults who have advice and can provide coaching to make your parenting journey easier.
Your local child-placing agency is one of your best sources of information and foster parenting services.
Nonprofit child welfare organizations approved by the state recruit resource parents, provide resources, and offer training and general support. When you attend the informational orientation and parent training, you'll receive books and resources that tell you more about the many available foster parent support groups.

This agency is a joke. They just drop the kids off anywhere without giving decent training at all. They want you to take on more than you should just so they can get paid. Every time you call them they barely answer then turn around and say you don’t answer. They expect you to not say No no matter what the child’s behavior is. They placed a kid in one foster home that was letting the child smoke. I don’t recommend this agency if you are interested in fostering and need good training not jus over the phone or computer this is not the agency to go to. They treat the kids differently like they have their favorites. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this agency at all.
